MONARCH VMC-2443 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a robust table/work support system with a table size of 49.000 inches in length by 25.500 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 2,200 lbs. An optional support index table and rotary table are available for enhanced versatility. The vertical spindle utilizes a CAT #50 taper, with an optional CAT #50 taper, and achieves a maximum spindle speed of 6,000 RPM (optional 7,000 RPM). The spindle is rated for 20.00 HP (30-minute rating), with an optional 30.00 HP for demanding applications. Tooling is managed by a double-arm cam-operated tool carrier, accommodating 24 tools (optional 32 tools), with a rapid tool change time of 5 seconds and a chip-to-chip time of 8 seconds. An optional pallet changer is available, supporting up to 2 pallets for increased productivity. The machine operates on 3 axes (optional 4 axes), with travel distances of 43.000 inches on the X-axis, 23.900 inches on the Y-axis, and 24.900 inches on the Z-axis. Maximum feed rates and rapid traverse speeds are 300 inches per minute and 787 inches per minute, respectively, across all axes. This configuration ensures high precision, efficient material removal, and flexibility for a wide range of machining tasks, from complex part production to high-volume manufacturing.
